Dear Sir
Lewistown Jany 4 th 1838.
I herewith enclose the application of Jacob Hare an old soldier. I know no further testimony that he could procure he being very old & his fellow soldiers all dead so far as he knows & he may not live more than 2 or 3 years. His wife of nearly the same age is still living, her deposition might be taken & sent to the department & would be about the same as that of her husband - if he would think it necessary or material or if it will be received if you request it. I will have it made & sent on. I hope the application of this poor but worthy & distressed old soldier will be successful. please write me to Lewistown Pa.
Very Respectfully Yours
David W. Huling
J. L. Edwards Esq.

The Declaration of Jacob Hare in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832
State of Pennsylvania Mifflin County ss Personally appeared in open Court of the said County now sitting Jacob Hare of Derry Township Mifflin County aged 82 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the aforesaid act of Congress that he entered that service of the United States when he was about 20 years of age & then living Caernarvan Township & County of Berks in the Company of Captain Johnathan Jones of the Militia & was out a tour of 2 months against the British who were then threatening Philadelphia with an attack & that his Company with other Militia were encamped on the West side of the Schuylkill & marching in that neighbourhood until his tour of 2 months was expired. The second tour deponent marched under Command of Captain William Williams from the same place to near Philadelphia (Captain Jones being then dead) & encamped back of Germantown with other companies of Militia at the time of the battle of Germantown Our company were not in the battle though we heard the firing & were posted near to help in case of being needed. On this tour deponent served 2 months
The third tour deponent was out he was pressed with 10 other Waggoners & 10

teams who formed a Brigade by Captain William Williams Our Wagon were loaded in Reading with clothes for the soldiers, grumblinghoes, shovels, & picks, & horse gears, & one chest of money, all for the Continental Army. And we were taken to Morristown in the Jerseys crossing the Delaware river & Black river & we unloaded at Morristown & the day before there had been a battle near or in the direction of New-York & many wounded dying men were brought in wagons the blood running out of the beds & their wounds dressed at Morristown & we were kept with & near the Army & had to cross the Black & Delaware rivers in returning home where we were employed hauling flour from the Reading Mills to supply the army near Phil a & we were out this time a tour of 2 months Deponent was not driving his own team but was pressed & compelled to drive the team in lieu of serving as a soldier. Deponent can not fix the precise date of the years of these 3 several tours of 2 months each but they were all within 18 months or 2 years nor can he recollect the name of any other officers except the Captain as his memory is bad & he is very old & infirm being nearly deaf Deponent further states that he never got a discharge & as near as he knows & recollects no discharges were given to the militia for those 2 months tours & he fur- -ther states that he relinquishes all claims to a pension except the present & that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state & that his statement is supported by the declaration of John Morony

Joshua Way Daria M. Kulings & Harvey Krapp who know of his old age & infirmity & that he is an honest man & of good character truth & veracity & by reputation a Revolutionary Soldier. Deponent further states that he removed from Berks County near 30 years ago to Bush Valley Centre County & from there he removed to Derry Township Mifflin County where he now lives & has lived the 7 years last past. That his wife is still living to whom he was married soon after his return from his first term of 2 months Military duty as before & above stated & that the reason he had not before this applied for a pension was that he was very old poor deaf ignorant & almost unable to be moved from where he lived to Lewistown nor did he know until lately that Militia men are entitled to Pensions & that his son William who is a poor man with a large family promised to keep him & his wife but who is now become so poor that he is unable to keep him & that he & his wife if he don't get a pension must be kept by the overseers of the poor.
